Hi

As above.

Is there anyway to stop windows automatically installing and updating my drivers?? Im having issues with crashes, so plan on removing my drivers withh DDU and then uploading the new one from Nvidia. But i dont want windows getting involved and changing things..

Is this possible??

Hello

Try this.. How to disable Windows Update in Windows 10 RTM

This does require you to download areo tweaker.. I suggest that you use method number 3..

Thanks for that.

Does this stop all windows updates oe just the drivers??

It would stop all automatic updates,you can manually go into windows updates and choose the ones that you want to update.

Hope you dont mind me butting in here but if you just want to disable windows driver downloads but still want normal windows updates, go to the Behavior section of Aerotweaker and disable driver updates there. Doing it this way works even if you are unable to access Windows group editor, and you can still get Windows updates.

Check the app now and again to make sure Microsoft haven’t got overly aggressive and turned your preference off. BTW, you can turn off all windows updates here as well as per pic. Aerotweaker is a great app and unlike some other privacy apps allows you to set everything back to default if you want.
